How was John Mitchell involved in the Watergate scandal?

In early 1972 Mitchell resigned as attorney general to become director of the Committee to Re-elect the President. He approved giving Liddy and his coconspirators $250,000 for the break-in and bugging of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate Office Building in Washington. Mitchell's public downfall began in September 1972 when The Washington Post quoted sources involved in the Watergate investigation as saying that Mitchell, while attorney general, had "personally controlled a secret Republican fund used to gather information about the Democrats." After the Watergate story exploded, and Nixon resigned, several high officials, including Mitchell, were convicted of conspiracy, perjury and obstruction of justice.
